Our last day in Brazil

Hola chickas and chickos,
Today is our last day in Brazil. We have moved fairly quickly through it, but that is mostly because we have been in search of better weather. There hasnt really been any point in travelling down the coast when it is rainy and windy. We are hoping that it will be better inland. And it has been mostly.

Yesterday we went to see the Iguaco Falls on the Argentinian side of the border. One of the seven natural wonders of the world. It was beautiful! We got to see them from all different angles. Along the top, at the bottom(got soaked, good thing we bought plastic rain jackets!) and right overlooking it. The noise has amazing and the mist it creates soaks you through. There was so much power. Really worth the journey for sure. Today we go to see the Brazil side of the falls. Not as close up but a good overall view.

I woke up to some sunshine this morning and there was frosted flakes with breakfast!! Talk about a good way to start the day!!! The food in Brazil is nothing to write home about. Very little flavour or spice, and generally just very salty. Looking forward to yummy wine in Argentina.

We are all very excited to go to Argentina and it looks like most of our time will be spent there, with a stop over in Uruguay. Hopefully my friend Clay is meeting up with us in a weeks time(email me Clay!). A good addition to our trio. Have also found out my friend Tracy is meeting me in January(you have to come now Tracer!) and I am soooo excited about that. Wasn't really looking forward to travelling alone.

So my friends and family, thinking of you all. Hope all is well. Take care of you. And we will do the same!

Cheers
